Re:Show HN: BullSniff – Sniff out bullshit AI sites on Friday September 04, 2026 @09:27AM (#49564325)
The number of AI generated websites and businesses, with no substance, seems to be getting worse and worse. So I decided to make a Chrome extension that will be able to sniff out the BS - BullSniff! It analyses the content and design for common AI fingerprints as well as doing deeper due diligence on items such as the domain. The extension itself was evaluated on a corpus of known legitimate and AI slop sites. Try it out and let me know how well it works!

- React, Node.js or other front-end development - Ruby on Rails, either as just an API server or a full-stack system - Designing interfaces with user experience in mind - Mobile development on iOS or Android platforms - Machine learning / data science

As a company, we’re small, but growing fast, having just moved into a new office in the centre of Leamington Spa and are looking for people to join our dedicated team. We have modern working practices, promoting flexible working and continuous development of all of our staff members.

Re:MacBook Pro on Thursday October 27, 2016 @02:48PM (#12808206)
Agreed. To me all the demos of the touch bar looked awkward and could've been replaced with far better functionality using a touchscreen.

Hopefully it's more appealing when actually using it.

Re:Ask HN: Suggestions for chat bot frameworks? on Wednesday October 12, 2016 @03:44AM (#12691023)
It depends what you want to do. If you want to access many chat apps a framework will make your life easier and provide some features such as analytics but at the expense of latency and inability to access any features specific to a particular chat application.

Wit.ai, API.ai etc. are separate services to which you forward your chat responses and they send back a response based NLP training etc.

If you're just doing a prototype, I would limit it to one chat app (eg. FB messenger) and interact directly with their webhook. You can also then add NLP through api.ai etc.

Re:Kreisel Electric takes on Tesla on Friday September 23, 2016 @09:12AM (#12564285)
There's a cultural difference among traditional automakers in which new innovations are withheld from being released as they are not required to maintain a competitive position. This is very different from the attitude in the Valley/startups in which there appears to be a genuine desire to advance innovation of mankind.
Re:Kreisel Electric takes on Tesla on Friday September 23, 2016 @09:07AM (#12564264)
To a certain extent, this comes from historically creating safety-critical software which is an entirely different process compared to what is done for web apps etc. I don't think Tesla are as robust with their development processes, but they are able to make up for it with over-the-air updates.

Re:First Tesla Taxi in America after 100k miles on Wednesday August 17, 2016 @12:00PM (#12305663)
Most EV batteries have a total capacity greater than the usable capacity as some is reserved for degradation - this means you shouldn't experience much (if any) capacity loss until 10years+ of usage. The one to look out for is the P90D which will likely suffer increased degradation in Ludicrous mode.
Re:Inside Tesla's gigantic Gigafactory on Wednesday July 27, 2016 @11:12AM (#12173446)
Range is not solely due to the battery pack; weight, frontal area and drag have a big impact.

Nonetheless $20k is high for a 200 mile pack even today. It should be around half the cost.
